    Coming off the pill will upset your cycles somewhat - my af after stopping the pill was 69 days IIRC, though you may also come on again after 10 or 20 - anything could happen while those chemicals get out of your system.

    Hi Skint :)

    Thanks for this, i might be calling on you for advice, the last time i came off the pill i was 21 and had a fair gap of time when my body didnt know what it was doing which is one reason i wanted to come off it now rather than in a couple of months time.

    Trying to stay optomistic and hoping for the best though :)

    Ah thankyou. i've worked most out but some just baffle me,lol.
  • Thanks to QQ and GG for the hugs :)

    SBDTQQ for IUI. It would really make my month if you got your BFP. Got everything crossed for you :dance:

    I know I'm not even pg yet, but my mind tends to run away with itself a bit and I am already thinking about what I would do about work. Is anyone else in a career that isn't very flexible in terms of coming back and being able to work 3 days a week etc? I just can't imagine that my company would ever let me do that. I have no family around and my own Mum was a SAHM and I can't imagine leaving my year old baby in nursey 5 days a week. Plus, the times that nurseries open are not really great for me because I work an hours drive away from my house. Arrrrrghhhhh!

    Does anyone else have these irrational thoughts? lol

    I'm totally with you there Feanor! I don't think they're irrational thoughts. I've worked for the same company for 18 years and have seen the struggle new Mums have. They are very inflexible and wn't allow part time working. We are expected to be incredibly flexible, but that is not reciprocated. This is one of the issues that has put me off ttc until now, until the urge became all consuming :D

    Anyway, the way I figure it now, I want a baby more than I want my job. Once I've got my wee bubba then if I've got to look for another job then so be it! We will just have to manage financially, even though this will mean a drastic pay cut for me.
    Hey chickadees,

    Only me, congratulations perdi and feisty fantastic news!!

    Well its all over 4 me and the twilight saga, to say I had a lump in my throat is an understatement!!

    CD13 for me and I had my 2nd peak yesterday so today I am 1 DPO DH has made a huge effort to make this our month so we are both helpful!!

    Welcome 2 all the newbies!

    Short and sweet today as on my carppy fone!!

    SBDTA XxX

    Was wondering where you had gone!! Good luck for you 2ww!

    I've had a weepy day following my BFN this morning, and I know that when AF arrives I'm going to get upset all over again. At least I know that I defo want a baby. Roll on AF and another cycle ;)

    Thanks guys,

    Jessica will be 1 on Jan 9th, so 12 months would fit. I'm sure I'll have loads of appts next time round as the end of the last pg was so fraught!

    Hopefully will be back in the new year, although hopefully (in the nicest possible way!!) most of you won;t be here! x

  • Soz QQ stoopid fone yeah CD14, well we've been on to our network provider and all should be fixed by Thurs but impatient as I am I'll check again tomorrow! :rofl

    After reading some of our new ladies posts the realisation struck me that it must give you a great sense of relief that you know that you can get pregnant and knowing that you have had kids, labour etc!
    Unfortunately I don't have any of that and as naïve as it sounds I don't even know if I can get pregnant so I encvy you ladies who kbow for sure!

    Thanx WW its nice to know I've been thought of, I'm currently sitting in my bedroom by candle light reading my cosmo and loving the calming influence its having on me!
    Sadly fanta did not show with my red straight jacket yesterday so had to make do with this! Lol!

    Oh I forgot to say QQ we havnt used our pre-seed this month as DH told me I was ehm... Far to wet for him so we've given it a miss this month but will continue again next month! Rofl

    hi doglover, tbh am not sure about the timing! :o last BDd on sunday & then saw it yesterday... BDd earlier in the month too & cant remember the exact days. oops! it was just a little amount of red/brown as i wiped (sorry tmi!) fingers crossed for u on sunday! x

    Fingers crossed for you two ladies (and all of us!!). :T

    Nothing much to report here. Still waiting for AF but could be a fair few days yet. After this next af, if we're still without a bfp I intend on getting the CBFM. Would you suggest I should temp too or would the CBFM be enough? I haven't done temping yet.

    I'm sat here getting a lovely foot rub :) so DH is working towards a promise tonight ;).

    Who's our next tester?

    Hope you all have a good eve x

  • What is it about this thread? I step away for not even two months and hardly recognize any names of any of the people who are in the TTC club... I suppose that it means most people have been successful in the past few months, which must be good news!

    And gravesendgirl, it's great to see you back on this thread after what happened a few months back. I think we're back into the TTC thing, but we'll take it slowly - and see what happens...

    For those who don't know, read through Part 5, my OH had a MMC after 7 weeks, but hopefully that's now all behind us and we can start again...

    Keep up the good "work" - still plenty of potential October graduates ;)
    Having fun trying to save money without going over the top and living on budget food all the time...
